One of the last events a couple of students had to help load trailer and did an excellent job. Uniforms / Roadies – one last event – Veterans Day parade this weekend – lining up on A Ave right behind The MONA Concessions – sign ups will be out soon with additional date added since we are running it now and pickup dates that other organizations do not pick up. 1/11/25 and 2/15/25 will be tournament type days with many shifts to fill. Stadium CleanUp – We will have one more sign up for this Friday for the playoff game. | Ed UdenKimberly ClarkAngela Wright Shawna Knott/Andrea Ripp |

Soup & Pie Night Fundraiser – Will be around January and we help supply and serve the pies. Pies ideally need to be precut. The Booster Club covers everything else from soup to paper goods. Band Banquet Chair – Dee McClenahan has agreed to be the chair. Big Band Dance Chair (Spring) – Lora Litrell will be organizing the event again this year. | |
| 6. | Fundraising Spring Fundraiser – in years past we’ve done a beef raffle that has worked very well. Looking to do it again next spring. Concessions-beginning RaiseRight – you can get gift cards and a portion of the purchase goes to the bank. Spark (Walmart) Sponsor info for next year (Nebbe) – 15 sponsors last year up to 40 sponsors this year. Alissa visited over 100 places.

Next year Melissa has volunteered to help Alissa with this. | |
| 7. | Old Business NSBA – will get final updates by next meeting. LeFeber said many directors came up and were appreciative of how we host the event every year. Pit Crew Olympics is a big hit for all the participating schools. NSBA rep was satisfied. Senior Night – Pictures did go home with the kids. They got them last week. Parents enjoyed the photo more than the flower that has been done in the past. K Cards – Sales are about wrapped up. Have less than 100 cards out that have to be accounted for. | |
| 8. | New Business | |
| 9. | Director’s Comments Mitchell – Thank you to all the volunteers for Vermillion and NSBA. The field the band stopped at in Albion was a great space to use for a break on the way home. All the kids had a lot of fun. We have results from Allstate auditions. 14 auditioned and 7 secured spots. We had 8 students at Doane last weekend. Next week we will go to Concordia. LeFeber – Year is going great so far. The Freshmen are doing a great job. KPS Band Festival – had 8th graders here and the band members did great showing them around. Had a discussion with middle school directors on expected student numbers. 6th and 7th graders make up their mind around 7th grade if they want to continue to pursue band. Yesterday and today some alumni went to the middle schools to encourage those students to continue participating in band. Plan on doing this on a monthly basis.We will go to San Antonio for the 2026 Band Trip. Information will start being distributed soon. Looking at going to Six Flags, Alamo, and River Walk with a possible performance on the River Walk. Might do a side trip to New Mexico to let the kids swim in the Gulf. Cost is around $1,500. The December concerts will be moved around a bit this year. Be on the lookout for those dates. Music department photos will be done Dec 19th.
